Now SA uses a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to set the scores.  If any spam that $$$ 
appears in would have been marked as spam even without the CASHCASHCASH rule, 
then the score for CASHCASHCASH will randomly wander up and down.  I think 
Craig is working on a fix for this.

Heh, that's bad description; it should read "At least 1/2/3 whole lines...".  
So three whole lines of yelling would be 2.659 + 1.0 + 1.0 = 4.659
